    摘要: Restoring retired transaction identifiers (TID) associated with Direct Memory Access (DMA) commands without waiting for all DMA traffic to terminate is disclosed. A scoreboard is used to track retired TIDs and selectively restore retired TIDs on the fly. DMA engines fetch a TID, and use it to tag every DMA request. If the request is completed, the TID can be recycled to be used to tag a subsequent request. However, if a request is not completed, the TID is retired. Retired TIDs can be restored without having to wait for DMA traffic to end. Any retired TID value may be mapped to a bit location inside a scoreboard. All processors in the system may have access to read and clear the scoreboard. Clearing the TID scoreboard may trigger a DMA engine to restore the TID mapped to that location, and the TID may be used again.

    摘要: A network arbitration scheme is disclosed that manages device access fairness by selectively and dynamically increasing a requestor queue's likelihood of being serviced. A requestor queue increases its service priority by duplicating a request entry onto a set of priority rings maintained by arbitration hardware in a host bus adapter. Duplication occurs when (1) a requestor's queue fill count (the number of descriptors stored in the queue) exceeds a watermark level or (2) a requestor's queue timer times out. In the case of time-out, the requester in the lower priority ring will duplicate itself in the higher priority ring. Because the arbitration hardware services requesters using a round robin selection scheme, the likelihood of a requestor queue being serviced increases as the number of its duplicate request entries on a priority ring increases. Upon being serviced, the requester is able to perform the requested action.
